"AH! Liko, Rosebelle, Hiroto! Where are you?!" Roy panicked as he shielded himself and Fuecoco.
"Roy?!" Liko shouted.
Rosebelle and Hiroto, on the other hand, weren't bothered by the wind and sand thanks to their being able to see through the elements with Wind Vision and Sand Vision, allowing them to apparate to Liko and Sprigatito to protect them.
"Liko, it's too dangerous for you and Sprigatito to stay here!"
"Get back to the Brave Olivine as fast as you can!" they told them urgently.
"No! We can help!" Liko protested.
"Don't argue with us, damn it!"
"Hurry before we end up getting captured together!"
"TOO LATE!" screamed a horrified Sprigatito as she directed the trio to Amethio and Corviknight coming at them, bracing herself while Liko screamed and the royal couple placed themselves in front of the duo with no choice but to fight their way out and save Liko themselves.
It seemed as though all was lost for the heroes as Corviknight drew closer and closer to the trio but at that moment, Liko's pendant shimmered for a third time and soon, the same shield that protected them and Sprigatito days prior reappeared around them.
Noticing the glow as he put on his goggles and after hearing Corviknight stop in his tracks with a stunted screech, Friede quickly cried out, "Liko, Rosebelle, Hiroto!"
Even Roy was surprised by this as he puzzled, "What's happening with that glow?"
Amethio snarled in disgust at this, eyeing Liko and her pendant as he realized it had awakened its inner power again to protect its owner and her friends, prompting the young girl to ask it, "Huh, did you save us again?"
But, before she could think about it more, Liko then turned to Roy and even Rosebelle and Hiroto were shocked by what they were seeing. Liko's pendant was reacting to the young treasure hunter's Ancient Pokeball as it shimmered brightly in a golden glow (the young boy having seen it glowing from his shoulder pack and pulled it out, sharing the trio's shock as none of them knew what to make of it).
Before Amethio and his Corviknight could make another move, however, they were suddenly attacked by Arctic and Crest as the two friendly Legendary Pokémon charged from the Dragon Craft and knocked them down with a hard double Attack (with one Attack from both Pokémon), allowing Miraidon and Scarlet to use Acrobatics to disperse the Hurricane the Raven Pokémon stirred up before the pendant's shield vanished and its glow died down.
"Liko, Rosebelle, Roy, Hiroto!" Friede shouted as he and Charizard tried to reach the quartet only for Zirc and Onia to appear on their Skarmory, ditching their previous battles and with their eyes now trained on the pair to keep them from helping their targets.
"I don't think so!" Zirc spat.
"Use Whirlwind!" they then barked, having their Armor Bird Pokémon stir up more wind and sand that the pair stood against, leaving Rosebelle, Roy, Hiroto, Liko, Sprigatito, Fuecoco, Arctic, and Crest to defend themselves against Amethio as he returned his Corviknight.
"As I stated before, you three, that pendant, and your three Pokémon are coming with me," he spoke darkly, no longer in the mood for games.
"Sure, they'll come with you, NOT!" spat Crest as he blew a raspberry at Amethio while he walked closer to them.
"They're not afraid of you and neither are we!" Arctic added as She got into a battle stance.
Liko was hesitant and continued to wonder if she should comply with his demands but this time, Roy stood up to him on her behalf as he said, "But, that pendant and the Pokémon he's talking about are your treasure as well as Rosebelle and Hiroto, right, Liko? You can't have them!"
